"Mrs. Condiment, I have lost the key dropped it down the trap-door. Please ask uncle to send for some one to take the lock off and don't wait breakfast for me." "Well, I do think that was very careless, my dear; but I'll go at once," said the old lady, moving away.
"What do you think of this outlaw, young lady?" asked the peddler, turning to Capitola. "Why, I like him!" said Cap. "You do!" "Yes, I do! I like men whose very names strike terror into the hearts of commonplace people!" "Oh, Miss Black!" exclaimed Mrs. Condiment. "Yes, I do, ma'am. And if Black Donald were only as honest as he is brave I should quite adore him. So there!
Condiment, this is your young lady; take her up to the best bedroom, where she can take off her bonnet and shawl," the worthy dame, thinking secretly, "The old fool has gone and married a young wife, sure enough; a mere chit of a child," made a very deep curtsy and a very queer cough and said: "I am mortified, madam, at the fire not being made in the best bedroom; but, then, I was not warned of your coming, madam."
For a quarter of an hour the only sounds were the plup of fingers withdrawn from mouths filled with popoi, and the faint creaming of waves on the beach. Marquesans feel that eating is serious business. The devil-fish and crabs were the delicacies, and served as dessert. Blackened by the fire, squid and crustacean were eaten without condiment, the tentacles being devoured as one eats celery.
The young person carved a fowl with the utmost delicacy, and asked so distinctly for egg-sauce, that poor Briggs, before whom that delicious condiment was placed, started, made a great clattering with the ladle, and once more fell back in the most gushing hysterical state. "Had you not better give Miss Briggs a glass of wine?" said the person to Mr. Bowls, the large confidential man. He did so.
The plant, too, has altogether a faint reddish tinge, and is of upright growth. A native of Tasmania, and called by the natives the Pepper Plant, the fruit being used as a substitute for that condiment. Like the other species the present plant is only hardy in warm, maritime places, and when afforded the protection of a wall. Winter's Bark. South America, 1827.

Eloquence was, in his time, little more than a condiment which served to stimulate in a despot the jaded appetite for panegyric, an amusement for the travelled nobles and the blue-stocking matrons of Rome. It is, therefore, with him, rather a sport than a war; it is a contest of foils, not of swords.
"The consciousness of having spent the other hours well is a just and savory condiment for the table." "Belly and guts! a truce to your whimsical nonsense! Tell me, Jehan of the devil! have you any money left? Give it to me, bedieu! or I will search you, were you as leprous as Job, and as scabby as Caesar!"
Call all the servants together in the dining-room; we're going to have one of the worst tempests that ever raised!" Wool flew to do his bidding. "Mrs. Condiment, mum," said the old man, striding into the sitting-room, "Mrs. Condiment, mum, tell Miss Black to come down from her room until the storm is over; the upper chambers of this old house are not safe in a tempest.
